I greased all the seals on my BCE and it's perfectly waterproof. Swam with it, dived with it (3m) and held it in a powerfull jetstream. No problems what so ever. My experience is that when you grease and check all the seals, press the crystal (by hand) and thighten the case back it's perfectly waterproof. For god's sake a $50 Swatch is waterproof 5ATM and it doesn't even have a screw down crown nor case back.....

Great story! So you see, when you help out people you'll get rewarded in the end. This is the proof.

Hey Floris... hate to say it but forget it. Been there done that. It's a really closed community. I too tied the Swatch Group in Maastricht and Breitling (Badhoevedorp). Without Succes . Maybe it's different in London though?

Thanks a lot Offshore. It worked! I really appreciate your search!... due to my lack of technical knowledge I couldn't have done it without you!

During my search I came along this post and I'm also struggling with the same movement at the moment. Does anybody have any suggestions on how to release the stem? Thanks! Factsheet

Looks like the date-font changed....

Second that. I think something went wrong with the coating process.

I would like to know the same thing...

No particular brand.... you can buy it in every hardware store.

You can also use cloth with some paint thinner. Just make sure you cleanse it with water afterwards!

Better post your question more clearly next time....to avoid this sort of miscommunication. My comment about the Rolex movement was because I presumed you were a newbie, giving you have 8 posts in your name (no offence)....Didn't want to make it more complicated then it is.

I don't even have to click (which doesn't work BTW) on the link..... dude..... ETA powered?? Inside a Rolex there's a Rolex movement.

Maybe only the rotor screw is loose... try opening it up with a ball of duck tape. Maybe you're fix is just 1 screw away

Gen or rep? The rep deployant sucks!

Hard to say from the pics but I believe all dealers carry the same 6.75 from the same factory. If you want to be sure send an email and ask for a pic of the AR....

Indeed.. just what the f#ck happened to the pearl? I had some really good hopes and now again looks like a zit!

Forget it! A gen bezel won't fit as the bezel assembly is entirely different from the rep's. The rep has a click-on bezel (the screws are just for looks), the gen is screwed into place.

I also saw the rep bracelet pics A stunner!

Double post

I don't want to spoil anything but the BCE's and SOSF's font are different. I know as I owned a gen SOSF and my neighbour owns a gen BCE. The BCE's font is way thicker! The rep's current font is actually very good. My gen:

I have the same graphite BCE and let me tell you, there are much more obvious tell signs. For instance, the red 'Automatic' writing is way too bright on the rep. On the rep it is sort of red/ orange where the gen is deeper red. Second the subdial markings on the gen are all silverish. This way, when the light hits the subdials in a certain way the numbers look dull but when the light hits them directly they look more crisp (like our reps) because the silver markings reflect the light. When it comes to the dial these are the two most obvious flaws IMO...... My 0.02

Again, waisted time and energy on a rep nobody is craving for.....

The real deal!

Post some pics when you've made the swap. Would appreciate it!
